BEND, OR-Pronghorn, an Auberge Resort, and part of Auberge Resorts' collection of award-winning luxury hotels and world-class spas, has plans for a $20 million investment in a new guest lodge, spa and enhancements to existing facilities to be completed in early 2015.

The new hotel will be named The Huntington Lodge at Pronghorn, An Auberge Resort after the Huntington Trail – a historic wagon route constructed in 1867 that ran through Deschutes County. The lodge will complement an existing full-service spa, two world-class golf courses designed by Jack Nicklaus and Tom Fazio, multiple restaurants and unparalleled access to countless outdoor activities including skiing at Mt. Bachelor, North America's 5th largest ski resort.

“Pronghorn encompasses all the attributes we take pride in throughout our collection of exceptional hotels and resorts–individuality, understated elegance and a spectacular natural setting,” said Mark Harmon, CEO of Auberge Resorts. “Our development plans will reinforce Pronghorn's reputation as one of the best luxury resorts in the West and represent the exceptional cuisine and spa experiences for which Auberge is renowned.”

The Huntington Lodge at Pronghorn, will be designed by San Francisco-based SB Architects, which specializes in the design of high-end hospitality destinations, including Auberge Resorts' Calistoga Ranch and many more. Pronghorn has also hired celebrated local builder, SunWest Builders, who will start construction on the lodge in April 2014. Surrounded by a 55,000-square-foot clubhouse, The Trailhead recreation center and the 18th hole of the Tom Fazio-designed golf course, the new 105-room lodge will sit at the very heart of the Pronghorn community and will provide stunning views of the golf course and nine peaks along the Cascade Mountain Range, including Mt. Bachelor, Broken Top, Three Sisters and Mt. Washington. Taking its cue from The Clubhouse and the grand tradition of National Park lodges, the design of the hotel will emphasize the rustic elements that define mountain architecture.

“Our objective is to enrich the resort amenities and services that will be available to both our members and resort guests,” said Spencer Schaub, general manager, Pronghorn, An Auberge Resort. “We have an exceptional opportunity here and all parties are confident that we are on a clear path to establishing Pronghorn as the premiere residential community and resort in the Pacific Northwest.”
